Honda Small Sports EV Concept to debut at Tokyo Motor Show

TOKYO (majirox news) — Honda is set to reveal its Small Sports EV Concept at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, which is the tentative name for the vehicle. Honda implied that it will inspire a production model in the near future.

The sketches show a mid-engine open-two-seater with a trim, streamlined appearance, indented sides and a bold graphic running around the front of the car.

The compact car features a plug-in-hybrid powertrain, with an engine drive mode for enthusiastic driving or automatic drive mode for more relaxed journeys, Honda said in a statement.
